Yeah I do one every other oil change, unless there's something going on that I need to keep an eye on. It's amazing what details you can gather from oil analysis, you can catch things before they even become an issue.

Don't me, I my sentences have subjects. I don't verbs though.

Engine braking to 4 wheels is more effective, especially if the 4WD/AWD vehicle has some type of active stability control or torque vectoring.

PETA kills animals and solely exists to profit from their propaganda: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/blogpost/post/peta-and-humane-society-attacked-by-reports—but-are-they-real/2012/02/27/gIQAZdR2dR_blog.html

For pretty much every car manufactured in the last 10 years you're right on one through 3, but higher compression and boosted engines are most definitely engineered to operate optimally on premium fuel if it's specified, that's why they specify it. I guess you think manufacturers are putting that specification down…

Here's something to think about for all of you beigemobile defenders here... McDonald's is also the #1 restaurant in the US, Walmart is the #1 retailer and the iPhone is the #1 Smartphone (admittedly I own a beigephone) and either Applebee's, Red Lobster or Olive Garden are probably the #1 F'n casual dining chain. …

My buddy had the Bengals vanity plate "itchez" before somebody complained and the BMV took it away. Similar to this guy's...

A lot of people don't realize the real value of the Raptor, if you're a weekend offroader. The Supercab does have a limited towing capacity, but not everyone can afford a Raptor and a huge boat or enclosed trailer. Here are the links to back up my assertion:

I (over)paid $43,000 for my 2012 Supercab Raptor, it's not loaded, but it's option list is pretty much at the same level as a loaded FX4 Lariat that costs only a few grand less. Look around on fordraptorforum.com and you'll see buyers willing to ship or travel for their Raptors getting them new for less than $40,000.…

^ This 1,000x ^ I've personally owned and worked on a lot of vehicles, but my girlfriend's hoopdee '95 Accord with 220,000 miles was my first personal experience with captive rotors. Given all the other issues the car currently has (it's had a rough and neglectful life), and it's lack of any residual value, I told…

The Crown Vic's 4.6L V8 is an inefficient dinosaur, I'll give you that, but there is no way that a Civic has more rear seat or trunk space than a Crown Vic, that's preposterous. Also, the powertrains in minivans are generally a bitch to work on when compared to RWD body on frame designs, that's probably where a lot…

The fact that you managed to drive a vehicle with the tcase in 4 low on a HIGHWAY without even noticing the unusually short gear shifts and high RPM's makes me think that you might not be the most mechanically inclined, or best qualified to compare the reliability and serviceability merits of the classic purpose-built…

American's "aren't lean production", fair enough... but at least we have proper single quotes on our keyboards!

A compact truck that brought back one of the most retarded engineering decisions ever: Captive Rotors. For fuck's sake WHY!?

Yeah, a penny of every dollar spent in Hamilton County goes to fund one of the lamest teams in the NFL, GO BENGALS grrr...

As far as I know, none of the current Acuras are even based on any of the same platforms as Hondas. Lexus I know shares a few with Toyota, but not all of them. Audi probably shares more with VW than most other luxury brands. Lincoln seems to share ALL of their platforms with Ford, so why aren't they cranking out…

Oh, I can also easily manage 15MPG if I keep my foot out of it. Even when towing, I've never seen less than 12MPG so far. A few years ago I had an '04 Ford Ranger 4.0L 4x4, the best I ever did in that was 19MPG and usually averaged around 17MPG, so I don't really think 15MPG is bad at all for a 411HP truck with 4:10…

Look up the pricing on those Fox triple bypass shocks, they cost almost a grand a piece alone. So no, you won't have a "baby raptor" with only a few grand in mods. You also will immediately void the warranty coverage on many driveline and suspension components if you decide to throw a lift on a brand new truck. The…
